I am a bit surprised too about the discrepancy between your podcast description and the actual hat? Is this what you made the drama about?! It and the bobbles look just great! I think it must have been the heath in Santa Barbara that made you take off your hat ;D

Great Hat! Love the color. I checked out the color choices on Dancing Ewe Yarns, and I would probably choose Majesty's Magenta for my hat... also like Royal red and Orange attitude... the greens are pretty too... oh, crap (can I say that?!?!?), I like all of the colors!!

Hi,I have a few questions about the pattern for "Laurel". One is about the cast on and knitting in the round on 16'' 3 circular needles. The pattern also calls for size 7 dpns but where in the pattern are they used? If anyone has made this hat would you be able to help me?Thanks!

love the look. i'm now trying to make this but I'm stuck at the second row of the chart.

followed the instruction for the increase round to end with 126 sts and then moved onto row 1. Worked fine. at the end of row 1 i now have 132 sts right? But that doesn't seem to work for my row two chart. Have I misread something? I'm knitting from a chart for the very first time.
